Episode 9 - Commemorate October 7th ~ #Metoo Unless Your An Israeli Woman

Welcome to the Doulas Uncensored Podcast! Join hosts Sammy Griffin and Moran Liviani as they embark on this journey of exploration, education, and empowerment.

In this deeply personal solo episode, I commemorate the tragic events of October 7th and reflect on a year since the attacks. I confront the unsettling silence around the suffering of Israeli women in the aftermath of that day. As a mother, a Jewish woman, and an Israeli, I feel an urgent need to speak out against the failure of the feminist movement and #MeToo advocates to address this painful reality. As a birth doula, it has been especially heartbreaking to see fellow birth workers remain silent about the atrocities faced by Israeli women, as though saying, "Me Too—unless you’re Israeli." In this episode, I also share my family’s personal journey, the emotional weight we’ve carried, and the isolation of being far from Israel. With the lessons passed down from my Holocaust survivor grandparents, I remind us that silence in the face of injustice only lets it fester. Today, I break that silence and choose to speak up.

So, sit back, relax, and let's uncover the untold stories, insights, and wisdom together on Doulas Uncensored.
